Today in Sim City a fire broke out in the top floor lunch room of the Sim City Spline Reticulating Factory. The fire spread so quickly that the factory was burned to the ground before firefighters could get the blaze under control.
The building was somewhat of a historical landmark. Built in 1850 it was the only factory that reticulated splines over the years. Sim City has seen many spline factories come and go over the years that were unsuccessful because they didn’t offer reticulated splines.
Citizens are upset over the loss of the factory. Bob Newbie was found in a fetal position next to the rubble crying. “There is nowhere to get reticulated splines now. Whatever will we do?” He could be heard sobbing as the men in the white coats loaded him into the ambulance.
Yes, this is a huge loss for Sim City. Ironically we couldn’t find a single sim that could tell us what a reticulated spline was, but they all had to have them. They have become a part of pop culture and they seem to be a necessity for sims. “A sim without a reticulated spline isn’t a sim” was the motto of the Sim City Spline Reticulating Factory. The citizens of Sim City seem to feel the same way.
We caught up with Sim City’s fire chief, Abe Laze. He tells us that once again another fire can be attributed to putting ramen noodles in a microwave. “Dr. Vermicelli really needs to get to the bottom of this ramen noodle problem. Until he does we really need the mayor to ban them before something worse happens. As if anything could be worse than loosing the reticulated splines factory. The problem is, splines are very flammable. Once they caught fire there was nothing that we could do.”
